There can be few more satisfying things than ice on one's beared. Taken after climbing Hidden Chimney (Grade II/III), Cairngorms.

Looks...fun?

Voted 10/10

Or, fun-ish, perhaps, in the "I'm really cold and suffering but having fun" sort of way. :)

Climb safely,
Sarah

Ice on the beard...

Voted 10/10

is one thing, but ice on the skin another. I'm still suffering from long term effects of frostbites I received 45 years ago. I hope you walked away unscathed.
Hidden Chimney, sounds like it was all in the shade!
Cheers for your great climb, Dan.

	Hasn't voted	Very true; fortunately I wasn't out in this too long so I returned happily unscathed. The weather on the climb itself was actually superb, but on our decent it turned - Scotland's weather is notoriously fickle. Cheers Dan
